Forums are Back Up

Published on February 18, 2008 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News

Huzzah!

We've completed our work for the night and the forums are back up and running. You'll notice a number of visual changes, and you'll hopefully notice improved speed and general performance.

Please post any issues you run into here. We've done a lot of testing this past week and tonight, but if something slipped through we want to know so it can be fixed quickly.

Items not functioning at this moment:

Recent Posts List on the Sidebar
Featured Articles

Fixes are coming for these tomorrow. For now, it's getting on towards 5am and we want to get some sleep

Thank you all for your patience.

hmmmm.... When I click the wheel on my mouse it allows fast scrolling by physically moving the mouse forwards and backwards, but that doesn't work AT ALL now in the forums. Annoyingly, it only worked outside the center panel before, and I did point it out when the new Wincustomize was first built. I was told it was being looked into way back then, but now it's worse!! Please fix this guys, I use fast scrolling all the time!!

Works fine for me.

I love the new layout. As stated before, this box is way too small. I am seeing the "Forum Catagories" and "recent Forum Activity" on the bottom of this thread instead of in the sidebar.

Now it's back where it belongs.

Page numbering... This thread started off viewing page 0 of 2. I am now on page 2 of 2 which is actually page 3 of 3. Nice to see this box size has been fixed.

Seems the forum doesn't remember where I left off on the threads and I didn't delete the cookies. Also I don't see the ...Mark all threads as read....

Also, doesn't the new look list the titles of everyone that uses one?

Also doesn't the new look list the titles of those that use them? Can't edit yet, I see.

Heh . . I really like seeing the member number posted with the poster info. Whose ever idea that was:

Having said that though . . I'd love to be able to mouse-over or some-such thing and see date of membership.

Just did a post in another thread.
As has already been stated the quotes are not working right.
When i tried to edit my post and add quotes to it myself not only did the edit not take but it also sent me back to the first page of the thread.

Like everyone else, getting use to the changes will take sometime. I didn't read all the replies, so I'm sure the one thing that I see has been mentioned. Thanks for the update of the forums. I'll be waiting to see the minor corrections like the rest of the folks.

Also I liked how I used to be able to hit the back button and it would take me to the top of the page. That doesnt happen now. If that has been removed on purpose can we get a "Top of Page" button on the bottom?
Some threads have ALOT of scrolling to reach the top.

Inserting a link or image seems a bit different (and not in a good way).

URL: https://forums.wincustomize.com/?forumid=189&aid=175322

In FF, the input box is in the upper left of the browser at the top of the post and teh forum post is not "greyyed" out
In IE, the input box is in the right place but the post is totally greyyed out.

This URL: https://forums.wincustomize.com/post.aspx?postid=300025&p=3 works as expected in IE but has the same behavior as the one above in FF.
